Make Your Own Mythology Day

Gods of Manhattan by Scott Mebus
What if overlaying modern day Manhattan is a centuries old place called Mannahatta peopled by the immortal Gods of Manhattan, including Babe Ruth, Alexander Hamilton, Peter Stuyvesant and a host of lesser warriors and other beings? That is the premise of this story. Most people can't see them but one day Rory sees a cockroach riding a rat and then a rat and squirrel fighting each other kung fu style. It turns out Rory is a "Light" and a needed warrior in the fight to right a great wrong from Mannahatta's past. The book is full of suspense and ends on an up note with the whiff of a sequel in the air.

Available April 17, 2008.
